essential. >> as women we owe it to ourselves and our families because our families watch what we do they don't listen so much to what we say, especially our daughters, but they'll watch what we do. >> lead by example. thank you very much. congratulations on the business. because women in business, that's important, too. good example. >> thank you. >> i learned a lot from that and i'm not a girl. mirror mirror on the wall, you know that line, right? >> well, this weekend that story is being told with a twist. we'll hear from julia roberts in her role as the evil queen. jessica? you planning a vacation that involves a sleigh i'll bring you insider secrets to the airport and the airplane. we'll get you priority seating right away. you're watching 9news now.
